Here is another view of the white Prairie Larkspur that Josephine so graciously identified for me. :) It really is so pretty...

Lee, my newly acquired Eve's Necklace is about 4' or so. Odd seeing so many of them growing wild in the hill country a mile or 2 from our house. :) It is already happy in my backyard..and providing some much needed shade for the wysteria that you also gave me. We're just going to have to do another swap this year somewhere...I can't make it to the RU in CS...since I have to work...but would love to try again sometime this year. Too many wonderful things to share... :)

Yes....I've seen a baby rattler in my rock garden here in the backyard...and again, I let the little feller go....If I'm going to let my plants grow somewhat wild the way that I do... then they're going to start to feel a little too comfortable to be around....I'll just have to be extra careful...but again, I also have a Cooper's Hawk patroling my small backyard....so I guess balance has to be there somewhere.. :)
